EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I'm just as to curious as to what dog food do all y'all feed? Give the reasons why and the results you've had with it.

Diamond high energy I have tryed others some do good on the other brands but they all do good on diamond and I feed less and they poop less

Caliber Ultra... no fillers, slick/healthy dogs, and it's at the local feed store (support my locals and don't have to drive a half hour to buy). $23 for a 50 lb. sack where I am.

There are several posts on this topic...search for it and you could probably find all the info you want.

SportMix Energy plus 24/20 is hard to beat!

Use to feed purina pro one. Very good feed dogs did great on it . I tried diamond natural and the dogs like it. They have maintained a healthy appearance and stool has continued to be good as well. Plus side is it cost me .79 a pound where the purina was over &1.00.

Sportmix is .58cents a lb  I pay 29 dollars for 50lbs. and here and there we get 2 dollars off with a coupon that is on some of the bags..

Sportmix great dog food all around plus the quanity u get for the price

Sportsmix or raw chicken when I find it cheap enough.

I use raw meat if you would like to feed your dogs raw meat when I have extra I could sell it to you for your dogs for $.50 a lb.

    I want to ask all you boys that feed dogs this question  .  do any of you save your purchase points and go to the manf. web sites and see what kind of deals they offer ?  I found out that purina has the best deal going and have a heck of a program . up to 7 bucks a bag in rebates I was told , but I haven't gone and checked it out as to how reliable the info was . I do know if you save enough purina points you can get a garmin .  sportmix is a big promoter of the akc hunts and I bet they have a pretty good program as well . caliber has a small program but nothing like purina  .   

I've been using sportsmix 24/20 for quite a while now (at least 1 1/2yrs)  I can honestly say that it really changed a couple of my dogs for the better and there are a few members here that can vouch for it. I noticed within the first few weeks of using it that my dogs had WAY more stamina later on in the hunt, it seemed to give them that extra edge especially for my older dogs. It is the best feed i've ever used honestly. Just wish they would quit raising the price!!!

Purina pro club for 15-18 years....its good once you build up, i ran around with a ton of them 74 purina checks. they stopped the bag i liked so i quit them.

I've been feeding Sportsmix for a couple years. I've tried different feed and none has been as consistent and beneficial to my pack that Sportsmix black/blue. I'm really liking the Blue bag right now.

Where are you?

I wish I had known about this. There is no telling how many bags of purina I have fed. Never kept a single UPC. Feeding 10 dogs purina for years no telling what I coulda got.

Looked it up and purina gives 11 points per pound. A garmin astro is 50,000 points. It would take 4,545 pounds of feed to get one. At the amount I fed my dogs I coulda got 1 in about a year lil over. With what I'm now feeding I save at minimum $.21 a pound. With the same amount of feed I can save $954. I could buy 2 Astros in the same time frame. I still wish I had known because I liked the feed and the way my dogs looked on it. I have now found a feed I like that is cheaper and won't change back for the difference in price.

Switched from Sportmix to Caliber and my dogs are doing much better on the Caliber.

    yeah hairy I went from sportmix to loanstar to caliber  didn't notice any difference other than price .  caliber has a redemption plan on there p.o.p [ proof of purchase ] lablels on the bottom back of package . they have a few offers to give . advertising money , a banner they will send you with a kennel name and so many points will get you some free feed . hell it's worth checking into instead of just burning the bags points and all   . I haven't counted up my points but I have several tons worth lol  .

Southern states 24/20, have been using it since about 2005.

halfbreed,
where would a fella find the info on caliber's rewards? either i haven't looked hard enough or i overlooked it in my search

    go to the manufacturers web site . I'll look it up when I feed here in a bit and post it up  .

http://www.specialty-feeds.com/    and go to kennel program

     the link didn't paste  but go to www.specialty-feeds.com  is their web page and go to kennel program

   well the www. is messing up I can't seem to get a link to copy   but caliber is manf. by specialty -feeds in tenn.  the point's are based on how many lbs in bag  i.e.  50lb bag = 50 points  just google specialty-feeds and go to the kennel program section and register .

2000 pts is 10 dollar rebate

4000 pts is 20 dollar rebate

10000 pts is 50 dollar rebate     it don't seem like much , but like I said it's like burning money not to use them  lol

appreciate the info...wish I would've known about this some time ago.
